Synopsis

Whatever happened to the things you once loved?

That question and others like it are at the heart of Flying Colors.

“At home in the compelling realms of The Alchemist and Field of Dreams, Laney’s Flying Colors is richly told and impossibly vibrant. The story will stay with you long after the final page is turned.” —John Hart, six-time New York Times bestselling author

John Freeman has spent years building the life he thought he wanted. Then a strange encounter leads him to Air Haven, a grass airfield forgotten by the modern world.

There, the days move at a different pace. An old flight instructor named Kent draws John back to his childhood love of flying, and to the everyday magic he stopped noticing somewhere along the way.

Kent starts with lessons that have nothing to do with airplanes, yet each one lands. He seems to know what John has never said aloud, and Air Haven itself begins to show John things he can’t explain—and Kent won’t.

Over one remarkable summer, John must decide what he’s willing to leave behind—and willing to believe—to make room for the part of himself he thought he’d outgrown. Because summers end, Air Haven’s days are numbered, and John fears the magic won’t follow him home.

Lyrical, cinematic, and profoundly moving, Flying Colors is for readers who loved The Alchemist, Illusions, and Theo of Golden—and for anyone who misses a slower way of life and quietly wonders if there’s more.
